This M.A. thesis concerns the collection of poems La terre est ici of the poet Élise Turcotte. It studies the modalities by which the perception of the poetic subjects displaces the notion of « landscape » in the work of Turcotte.
The first chapter, in studying enunciation, tries to understand how the subjectivities of La terre est ici invest the language and build the reality that surrounds them to create a singular perception. The second chapter analyzes the creation of this unique visual space which deploys itself around the notion of « detail », whereas the third and last chapter questions the vision engendering an « art de faire » which aims towards direction and movement. The study of this stage as a way to convoke the subjects in the language introduces the idea of the space as a practised place. Thus, the multiple perceptions of the subjects compose a « landscape », understood in a visual sense and as possibility of action.
